Gavin Newsom entered his role as governor in 2018 amidst one of California's most devastating events: the Camp Fire. Before he even took office, he joined then-President Donald Trump and then-Governor Jerry Brown to assess the fire's damage. Over six years later, Newsom will meet Trump again, but this time in Los Angeles to view the wreckage of recent wildfires in Pacific Palisades and Altadena.

Newsom's governorship has been marked by a series of disasters and crises. From wildfires to mudslides, atmospheric rivers, and the Covid-19 pandemic, each event has left its mark. Additionally, the state faced intense protests following the murder of George Floyd, highlighting deep-seated issues within society.

The Camp Fire, which killed 85 people and burned over 153, 000 acres, served as a stark reminder of the devastation that natural disasters can cause. Newsom's early involvement in dealing with this crisis set the tone for his administration. The governor has had to navigate various challenges, showcasing the resilience required to lead through such difficult times.

The recent wildfires in Los Angeles are just another chapter in this ongoing story of crisis management. Newsom's tenure demonstrates the complexities and urgencies that come with governing a state prone to natural disasters. His experiences have also underscored the importance of preparedness and effective emergency response strategies.

Newsom's handling of these crises has been scrutinized, with some praising his swift action and others criticizing his approach. Regardless, each event has shaped his tenure and affected how Californians view his leadership.
